Chicken Pox

I'm sorry to say we have learned that "Martha" was highly contageous Wednesday night at her school play. On Thursday, Shayne texted me to let me know she had a horrible headache and she was staying home from school. She had not missed a day of school for illness since she was in the second grade. I felt horrible being 45 miles away and working. She slept most of the day. On Friday, Shayne texted me she had funky red dots all over. We questioned chicken pox; however, since she tested positive for it through a blood test when she arrived to be reunited with our family in 2003 on her fourth birthday we did not think it was possible for her to get them again - but that's exactly what's going on. Thankfully, she's not too miserable and she will be back in school on Monday. After dealing with the nastiest of the nasty, we celebrate Chicken Pox. Thank you, dear Lord for blessing Shayla with great health! There could be no greater blessing!

Oh, poor Shayla, I'm sorry to hear that she has the chicken pox.Saying prayers for a speedy recovery, for Shayne while he's caring for her, and for you Angela since you have to be away from home.Many Blessings...
